Working with a dental nurse in the 'new normal'

As we all return to work and embrace what are all calling the 'new normal’ I think it is a good time to reflect on how things are going to change for the future.

I am writing this from home as I still haven’t returned to routine work. I try to imagine wearing all that PPE and the effect it may have on my nervous patients, my child patients and those living with neurodiversity.

I try to imagine what it would be like without my dental nurse (my team mate) there to help reassure and connect with the patients whilst I am concentrating on the treatments, looking like I am working in Area 51 in all that gear!

I have always been lucky enough to work with a dental nurse and will continue to moving forward and I am so thankful for this. Now more than ever it is vital we all get to work with a dental nurse and I hope my peers will be in the same position moving forward.
